     | 557 views

    Faith is not about having the right answers or a spotless record—it is about seeking God, surrendering to His work in us, and walking faithfully each day. Transformation is not instant, but it is inevitable when Christ truly lives in us.

    So, I want to look at Nehemiah and the wall rebuilding. I want to look at a different aspect. I wish to talk about the wall and how it still applies to us today. Let me first give you some context and background for those who do not know the story.

    Rebuild the wall – Men's Breakfast April 2024 Well, good morning, men. Some of you are wondering if this was the big announcement. No, it does not come at the end of this message. It is excellent for us at newlife to have over 100 men at our breakfasts. It has been good to see that we men, ...read more

    God’s strength never fails; when we are weary, He renews us, teaching us to hope, trust, and find fresh power in His presence.

    Some of us walked in today with a brave face and a tired heart. Bills and busyness have been barking at your heels. Sleep has been thin. Relationships feel fragile. The headlines howl. And somewhere deep inside, a whisper rises: “I’m worn down.” If that’s you, friend, you are in good company. The ...read more

He explained how he started his own communications business in the 70’s. It was instantly successful. He ...read more

    #1 Exclusive Faith Series

    Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 24, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,536 views

    The issue our text addresses is that it insists that Faith in Jesus Christ Excludes Every Other Option. For the fact of the matter is that, for the most part, we only turn to Jesus when we have ran out of options: He’s usually our last option.

    One of the greatest affronts to the majesty of the Master occurs when we ask His help in prayer, and then rely on Something or Someone else in addition. We have this tenacious tendency of using this Jesus/And strategy; Jesus/And… my money, my medicine, my doctor, my parents, my spouse, my friends, ...read more

    Though in captivity Daniel’s story is a clarion call to us to THRIVE in the challenges of our cultural setting, and in so doing draw attention to our sovereign God.

    Daniel is an inspiring book that brings both a challenge and hope to all those who recognize that we are living in an environment that is alien to the lives we have been called to. This was Daniel’s experience. The book records the experiences of 4 Hebrew men taken into captivity by an evil ...read more
